    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    Yeah most likely a two piece. I believe the one piece started in ‘86. It’s very simple to do and shouldn’t take much time.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So I’m going to guess you’ve tried it? How well does it work?

    Never heard of this being done like that. I’ll have to give it a try

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    Is it a one or two piece rear main seal?

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    Yes, at least on my model. It’s a 3/4 ton 2wd with a 350 engine. I’m not sure about other models or engines

    Cleaned the oil pan. Putting on a new gasket because the old one had a million different leaks and made the whole thing nasty… it’s not perfectly clean but neither is the rest of my truck

    Probably going be putting a 454 engine in this truck at some point… forget just the crank. ;)

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    I’m doing the rear main but don’t know how far I want to go with the timing chain and all. I’m planning on building this engine in the spring/summer so I think I will leave that alone for now.

    This engine has great oil pressure. I run 60-80 psi all day

    Can they be rebuilt/refurbished? It might not even be worth the money if they can

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    I have my oil pan off for a new gasket and was wondering if there is anything I should do, check, or look for while I’m under there? It’s my first look at the bottom end of this engine and I’m very surprised that it’s as clean as it is.

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Great, I will definitely be checking out that thread. I will also check out your YouTube. It looked to be really helpful. Thank you again

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    It was rebuilt by a shop my grandfather worked at about 25 years ago but then he let the truck sit right after that. It probably has around 1,000 miles on it right now. I wasn’t going to do anything to it when I rebuilt the engine except for a different TC. In the spring I will be going through...

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Thank you, I appreciate all the help. I’m going to be rebuilding this engine soon so I’ll make sure the crank and everything is working properly

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    35 ft lbs. I didn’t inspect the threads on the mounting pads. I probably should have done that first but all three bolts were loose so I just went ahead and tightened them down.

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    This was it. Don’t hear the knocking anymore but if it happens once… it can happen twice. Is there something I should do to keep them from backing out again?

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Two full throttle revs. Just real quick

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    No. The motor has very good oil pressure

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Good to know. Still doesn’t fix the problem though because if that was causing the noise then I would hear it in park and neutral, right?

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    The flexplate checked out ok. No cracks. But I found that there is play between the flexplate and torque converter. Is this right or should they be tightened together?

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Yeah it’s a TH400

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    This knocking noise just started happening after I did a couple high revs in the driveway. It only starts knocking in Drive and Reverse. Sounds just like a rod knocking but obviously isn’t that. I don’t know what else to say but I can answer any questions. Thanks in advance!
